Leicester Vs Arsenal: Here is how the Gunners could lineup against the foxes.
Leicester will face off Arsenal in the Premier League at King Power Stadium on Sunday. The results have been tough to come by in the domestic competition over the last few weeks and Unai Emery is desperate to that by securing all three points against the Foxes.

The hosts have the likes of Jamie Vardy, James Maddison, Harry Maguire, Youri Teiliemans, and Ben Chilwell. Those players are technically gifted to overcome any other side when they find their feet. With the moderate Arsenal midfield and defence, the hosts will have their say by showing aggression throughout the game. The fullbacks like to get higher up the pitch and double up with Arsenal’s full-backs and make them suffer.
Arsenal are sitting fifth in the Premier League table, but Unai Emery has reiterated that the club will be looking to secure Champions League qualification at any cost. The Gunners kept six clean sheets in seven games before conceding six against Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton Wanderers. It has been the major problem for the English outfit who have been inconsistent throughout the season. Emery will hope that the duo of Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre Emerick Aubameyang will come to his aid on Sunday.
“Arsenal’s away record has been quite poor, and Leicester could have a huge effect on the top six teams. These are great games to be involved in.” 👌
